Physical Therapy And Risk of Falls Among Patients With Dizziness —Reply
In Reply We thank Wu and colleagues for their insightful comments about our study that assessed the use of physical therapy (PT) and subsequent falls among patients with dizziness in the US using a large administrative claims dataset. Our primary objective was to examine the association between receipt of any PT service and falls requiring medical care within 12 months of presentation for dizziness, and secondarily to identify factors associated with receipt of PT and falls. In their Letter, Wu and colleagues emphasize the potential influence of several unmeasured variables on the observed association. We concur with the a...

Physical Therapy and Risk of Falls Among Patients With Dizziness
To the Editor We read with interest the epidemiological study by Marmor et al who delved into the association between receipt of physical therapy (PT) and falls requiring medical care within 12 months of presentation for dizziness. Using a multivariable regression with a separate multivariable model, the study indicated that timely physical therapy referral for dizziness could be associated with a reduction in the risk of injurious falls, with the greatest risk reduction found within 3 months after PT (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.14; 95% CI, 0.14-0.15 at 3-12 months vs 0.18; 95% CI, 0.18-0.19 at 6-12 months and 0.23; 95% ...

Tooth Extraction and Osteoradionecrosis
To the Editor Lee and colleagues should be commended for investigating whether the timing of tooth extraction (TE) before radiotherapy (RT) is associated with osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in 879 patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). This retrospective cohort study revealed a significant association between ORN and pre-RT TEs performed within 7 days of starting RT. However, because only 16 patients (1.8%) developed ORN, the authors recommended against delaying RT due to TEs. However, we have 2 notable concerns to be addressed.
